FULLERTON, Calif. --

Fullerton police believe there may be more victims in a fake NBA Finals ticket scam.Edward Lopez of Whittier was arrested in Boston this week in connection with the sale of at least eight pair of fake Lakers-Celtics tickets, six of which were sold on Craigslist.

A local man says he was scammed by Lopez, who claimed he was a ticket broker.

The two were in contact through the online classifieds website and arranged to meet at the Cantina Lounge in Fullerton, where the victim bought two tickets for Game 2 for $900.

When the victim tried to get into the arena for the game, he was denied entrance and told the tickets were fake.

The victim called police and reported the crime.

Boston officials contacted the Fullerton victim, who positively identified Lopez as the man who sold him the tickets.
